Mallorca’s Kang-In Lee has already undergone PSG medical

RCD Mallorca attacking midfielder Kang-In Lee (22) has already undergone his medical prior to his transfer to PSG, according to both L’Equipe and RMC Sport. Spanish outlet Relevo broke the news on Monday that the South Korea international was closing on to a €20m move to Paris Saint-Germain. Lee played 39 games for the La Liga club last season, scoring six goals and registering seven assists. That form had caught the interest of some of Europe’s top clubs, including Manchester United, Aston Villa, PSG and Atletico Madrid.

Foot Mercato revealed on Tuesday that the player had already agreed personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain. Now, the move seems to have gathered pace. L’Equipe and RMC Sport report this afternoon that Kang-In Lee had undergone medical tests with the Ligue 1 champions, presumably yesterday. Both outlets claim that PSG Sporting advisor Luís Campos had been working quietly on getting a deal done.

As a left-footed attacking midfielder, Kang-In Lee would numerically replace Lionel Messi (35), whose contract in the French capital has expired. The South Korean international would be the club’s fourth signing this summer after deals were agreed with Milan Škriniar (28), Marco Asensio (27) and Manuel Ugarte (22).
